The talented Norwegian playmaker first made his mark on Pep Guardiola‘s side in last summer’s tour of Asia before having a crucial impact during the 2023/24 season.
Now, the 21-year-old is in the USA and enjoyed an outstanding performance in our tour opener as we were edged out in a 4-3 thriller with Celtic.
Bobb scored City’s first of the night in North Carolina before going on to set up Maximo Perrone and Erling Haaland with excellent play on both wings.
Speaking after the game, Bobb reflected on how his last 12 months have gone: “It’s been great. I’m gaining a lot of experience every day in training and the chances I get I’m very happy for so it’s been great.”
With the majority of our squad on holiday after summer international tournaments, an inexperienced side took to the field for this fixture.
Facing a Celtic team with most of their key players available and in their fourth friendly of the summer, Bobb knew the challenge we would face.
“First game of the season, it was a bit tough to get used to. It was good to get some minutes and get started. It’s a different environment but it’s great for our conditioning,” he stated.
“They’re a very good side. They play some great football and that made it even tougher having to run around chasing.
“I want to play the best I can, not lose the ball as many times as I did today and hopefully score more. My goals and two assists were decent today but overall I was a bit rusty.”
